Agenda & Minutes

  • HVAC repair/replacement
    • Board views HVAC as a core service for members. Further, the lack of it is a detriment to space usability and perhaps dangerous due to heat impacting member ability to consistently wear and breathe comfortably in a mask/face covering. Therefore, to rectify the lack of air conditioning as soon as possible, solution for restoring air conditioning will not be put up for a vote.
    • Cold Metals air conditioning solution: Tanja to get outstanding contractor questions from Andrew answered. Board favoring moving forward with Tanja's HVAC contact for Cold Metals HVAC repair assuming Andrew is comfortable with pending answers.
    • Woodshop air conditioning solution: Work needed to improve woodshop air conditioning could potentially be done in-house. However, using Tanja's contractor may allow us to improve the situation faster, which would be desirable given we're in the middle of Summer. Tanja will work with Andrew and her contractor to get a quote.
